WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.399 --> 00:00:09.640
<v Speaker 1>Cassy around. This is the seventy seven WABC Mini.

2
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Cast Byron Donalds. Right, a Trump back congressman, will face

3
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 2>David Jolly, a Republican turned Democrat and a strong critic

4
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 2>of President Trump, in Florida's governor's race in November. I

5
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 2>thought America was a racist country. Into a racist country.

6
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Always so much racism, So Hoddles Byron Donalds. An African

7
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 2>American win the Republican nomination and for what the last

8
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>thirty years, the Republican that wins in the primary goes

9
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.880
<v Speaker 2>on to be the governor of the great State of Florida.

10
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.920
<v Speaker 2>But there is some bad news and again the headline

11
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 2>out of Florida good news, depending on if you want.

12
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Of these nutty socialists out of nowhere. A socialist has

13
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:08.879
<v Speaker 2>scored a Florida upset in the latest victory for progressives.

14
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Her name State Representative Angie Nixon, a progressive firebrand. She

15
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 2>defeated Alex Vinman, who had outphraised her, and it wasn't

16
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:23.359
<v Speaker 2>even close.

17
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>So also Corey Mills.

18
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Lost in Florida's seventh district, but missus Nix's Miss Nix's

19
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 2>win that is over Vinman, he raised sixteen times as

20
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 2>much money as she did, and this latest victory for

21
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:47.439
<v Speaker 2>her out of nowhere is part of this growing progressive

22
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:52.519
<v Speaker 2>movement that has been dividing the Democrat Party. Her win

23
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:58.319
<v Speaker 2>came as socialists and other left wing candidates have unseated

24
00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>incumbents and stunned the party establishment, winning House primaries in

25
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 2>deep blue House districts like here in New York, Colorado,

26
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>and Michigan. But again, Byron Donald's on track to become

27
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:22.080
<v Speaker 2>the first African American governor of the great State of Florida.

28
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 2>And here was part of his victory speech tonight.

29
00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 3>There's a Lord Byron Donald speaking live in Florida right now,

30
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 3>after clinching the Republican nomination for governor.

31
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Let's listen in.

32
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 4>We've been criss crossing Florida. We've been knocking hundreds of

33
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 4>thousands of doors, taking our message to all Floridians. And tonight,

34
00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 4>because of your sweat, because of your hard work, we

35
00:02:51.280 --> 00:03:04.080
<v Speaker 4>have won a massive victory. Now we've just come through

36
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:09.680
<v Speaker 4>a hard fought primary. I got a call from Paul

37
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:16.439
<v Speaker 4>Renner and James fishback tonight and they hold on. I'm

38
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 4>gonna tell you why in a moment, and they congratulated

39
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 4>me and all of us on a hard fought victory,

40
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 4>and my conversation with both of them is very simple. Congratulations.

41
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:44.240
<v Speaker 4>Let's go beat David Jolly in November. You see, because

42
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 4>individual opinions and passionate supporters are the beauty of our

43
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:54.520
<v Speaker 4>conservative movement. But tonight, the primary is over. Tonight, we

44
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:04.479
<v Speaker 4>put aside our differences. Tonight we are one united Publican party.

45
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 3>You see.

46
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 4>I remember Erica and I were sitting around the fire

47
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 4>pit last year with friends and we were talking about

48
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 4>this campaign, and we were talking about the future of Florida.

49
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 4>No matter the issue or the policy, the conversation always

50
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 4>ended with us talking about the Florida dream. For us,

51
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.480
<v Speaker 4>it's personal. You know my story. I came to Florida

52
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 4>thirty years ago on a Greyhound bus at seventeen years

53
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 4>old with just a trunk full of clothes. I arrived

54
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:58.120
<v Speaker 4>in Tallahassee go Knowles, go Knowles.

55
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.879
<v Speaker 2>But again to show you how crazy and deranged these

56
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 2>socialists are. In the Senate race in Florida, in the

57
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Senate race statewide election, you have a progressive, you have

58
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 2>a socialist that is the Democrat nominee Angie Nixon. Greatly

59
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 2>outspent as crazy as hell, and she's going to be

60
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:40.000
<v Speaker 2>the Democrat nominee for Senate. So to show you how

61
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>this works and it's a good thing for Republicans. If

62
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>you're David Jolly, who is a Republican turned Democrat, and

63
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>you're running for governor against Byron Donald's, what do you

64
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:55.639
<v Speaker 2>think David Jolly is going to be asked about every day? Well,

65
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>on your ticket for the United States Senate? Is this

66
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>progressive by the name of Angie Nixon. You know, it's

67
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.439
<v Speaker 2>just not gonna work. It's not gonna work. What do

68
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>you think is gonna happen in the state of Florida

69
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:16.920
<v Speaker 2>with this socialist running as the Democrat nominee for a

70
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Senate She goes on CNN tonight tonight, tonight, not a

71
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 2>week ago, not two weeks ago, and she wants to

72
00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 2>do away with prisons.

73
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 5>Some of the agenda includes things that have been controversial,

74
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:34.759
<v Speaker 5>things you did not name, by the way, in what

75
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 5>is most important to you and the voters of Florida,

76
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 5>including defunding police or abolishing prisons, because those are part

77
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 5>of the platform. The DSA officially agenda has talked about

78
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.160
<v Speaker 5>do you support those or want to be distanced from

79
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:49.439
<v Speaker 5>those in people's consideration.

80
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 6>So I want to be clear there are things that

81
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 6>are a part of the Democratic clearly platform. Since Hakeem

82
00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:01.920
<v Speaker 6>Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are not supportive of Medicare for all,

83
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.279
<v Speaker 6>which should be a right for folks to have access

84
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Speaker 6>to quality health care. I want to abolish for profit

85
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 6>prisons because I believe right now people aren't educating our children,

86
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 6>and they're ushering them into the school to prison pipeline

87
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.360
<v Speaker 6>because they want to exploit labor. They're enhancing penalties because

88
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:23.199
<v Speaker 6>they want cheap labor. And so those are some of

89
00:07:23.240 --> 00:07:24.720
<v Speaker 6>the things that I am supportive of.

90
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 2>And so you listen carefully. She's splitting hairs. She wants

91
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:33.279
<v Speaker 2>to do away with four profit prisons. But at the

92
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>end of the day, do you think she makes a difference. No,

93
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:40.240
<v Speaker 2>she wants to do away with prisons. That's her tonight,

94
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 2>that's the Democrat nominee for Senate in the state of Florida.

95
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.519
<v Speaker 2>A socialists. I still don't get what is happening in America.

96
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>But you know, making the rounds on television tonight happened

97
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.360
<v Speaker 2>to be Kevin McCarthy on Fox News and This is

98
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 2>what he had to say about the situation with Byron

99
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Donald's which is great news, and also with this nut

100
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Angie Nixon, who is the Democrat nominee for Senate and

101
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 2>the state of Florida.

102
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 1>But the Democrats like Carville and others who.

103
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.399
<v Speaker 7>Are denying, Oh, this just happens in New York. No, no,

104
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.800
<v Speaker 7>it happens in Colorado, it happens in Michigan. And now

105
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 7>for a state wide seat in Florida. How does that play?

106
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:25.879
<v Speaker 7>And the thing people have to understand when they won

107
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:29.800
<v Speaker 7>in New York that was in the hometown of Hakeem Jeffreyes,

108
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:33.879
<v Speaker 7>the highest elected Democrat, and they were beating his members

109
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 7>of Congress.

110
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:35.639
<v Speaker 1>That's power.

111
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:40.000
<v Speaker 3>So you have two COMMI kind of people, one in

112
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 3>Michigan running statewide, one in Florida running statewide. What does

113
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.559
<v Speaker 3>that do to the Democrat Party nationally?

114
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Does it hurt?

115
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Does it help? What's the dynamic? Look it hurts them.

116
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.799
<v Speaker 7>But one thing you have to see Andy Bursheer, who

117
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.360
<v Speaker 7>is a Democratic governor in a Republican state. He's not

118
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.399
<v Speaker 7>going on TV and saying you know what to win

119
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 7>is the.

120
00:09:00.639 --> 00:09:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Way I governed. He's sitting there saying we need to

121
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 1>abolish the electoral college. He's moving further to the left.

122
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 7>This is exactly what is on the platform of the Socialists.

123
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.919
<v Speaker 1>So it's bad for Democrats. Carville, I'm going to leave

124
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the party. Oh no, they're not so bad. Right back around,

125
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:18.519
<v Speaker 1>King Jeffries, Oh, we're all there.

126
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.279
<v Speaker 3>He is going to slowly drag the party further to

127
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:25.000
<v Speaker 3>the left. When you have these two big games staving slowly,

128
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.320
<v Speaker 3>it's happening quick. It's happening very quick, because think about it. First,

129
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.039
<v Speaker 3>Mandonie just got elected what a year ago. Now he

130
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 3>won beat incumbent Democrats. Now they beat a thirty year

131
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.279
<v Speaker 3>incumbent Democrat. Now they won a swing state.

132
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 7>Now they have the nominee there that how many smaller

133
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 7>seats have won, how many city council seats, how many

134
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:45.840
<v Speaker 7>state rep seats did they win.

135
00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:51.480
<v Speaker 3>We're now hearing that Corey Mills, incumbent Republican congressman, has lost.

136
00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:54.360
<v Speaker 3>They're calling it for his opponent, so he will no

137
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:56.480
<v Speaker 3>longer be in the House of Representatives.

138
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>What happened there?

139
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.919
<v Speaker 7>Look, that's a lot of ethic issues, and had he

140
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.039
<v Speaker 7>on that seat could have been in jeopardy for Republicans.

141
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 7>So it's probably a good thing for the Republican Party

142
00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:06.759
<v Speaker 7>to hold onto that seat.

143
00:10:06.759 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 1>Now, it would have been harder to hold had he

144
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 1>kept the majority. And Trump did not endorse Mills. He did,

145
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:15.039
<v Speaker 1>he just didn't go out and campaign hard. But Trump

146
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>endorsed Byron Donald's, big time.

147
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.720
<v Speaker 7>Look, this is the Republican Party moving in the right direction.

148
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 2>And you know what I thought, that we're so racist

149
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>and that a black man doesn't have a shot in America.

150
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Right you here a rhetoric. Well, it looks like, if

151
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:35.759
<v Speaker 2>you go by history, a black man is about to

152
00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 2>become the governor for the first time ever in the

153
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:43.559
<v Speaker 2>great state of Florida. Byron Donald's, a Trump back Republican

154
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.759
<v Speaker 2>congressman will again face off against David Jolly, a Republican

155
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.759
<v Speaker 2>turned Democrats, strong critic of President Trump. That's not gonna

156
00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.960

00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 2>going to go around campaigning and I guess she's going

162
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.639
<v Speaker 2>to try and get away from her label as they

163
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>as they all do, as they all do, the the

164
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.960
<v Speaker 2>the socialists, uh throughout the country. I guess she'll try

<v Speaker 2>and pull a mom Donnie
